56-year-old Russian Woman is Recuperating

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) — Doctors say a 56-year-old Russian woman is recuperating well after slaying a wolf that attacked her. The wolf pounced on the farmer in the Russian province of Dagestan, biting her on the arm and leg and knocking her to the ground. When no one could hear her cries for help, she reached for the ax she had brought to repair a fence and repeatedly hit the wolf over the head, killing him. The woman has now become a local hero.
